Feel very genuinely bad for ZA/UM workers getting laid off after they were put in a no-win situation Also think it's deeply silly people on here are guilting consumers for not buying the new game like it's an audience's responsibility to keep a studio with PR/goodwill in the gutter afloat

i am very, very open for work at the moment and very good at mock reviewing/consultancy. my feedback is more dev-centric than most and generally revolves around aspects of game design which are often left out of other mock reviews (frame data, balance, and other fundamentals of feel and design).

humanity's enduring desire to make Little Guys is truly wonderful This is a clay pig. It has an angry little face with furrowed brows, pointing down and a huge curved back that leads seamlessly into the top of the head (no neck) like it's rearing up to charge. A very round piggy.

I have released my level scripting i/o system, it's called JoeIO and it works great for me and at work but it's early so be gentle and just holler if you come across any weirdness. An explanatory video is below www.joewintergreen.com/joeio-a-leve...

Joe Wintergreen@joewintergreen.com · 5mo ago

I spent some of this week making an I/O system for level scripting in Unreal for @sleightofhand.game! I have long had thoughts on why these kick ass. Here's an unusually long blog post on: -why these kick ass -why they are necessary -how mine works -etc etc www.joewintergreen.com/i-o-systems-...

They'll start getting angry at people outside the group, saying they don't understand why those people don't hate you. They'll say things like "I feel like I'm going crazy, why doesn't anyone see it?!" And it's like, dude, you're listening to a liar and the rest of us all know it lol

We are in just the pre-stages of trying to get a the adult content version of TrueRef off the ground. Theres a wall at every turn. Every turn.

Ro Salarian@rosalarian.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

So I am rebuilding an old twitter bot for bsky. What are some games have great ongoing patch notes & new feature drops? I got some good obvious ones: Dwarf Fortress, Caves of Qud, Civilization, Stardew Valley, Baldur's Gate, Minecraft, Crusader Kings.

It's funny and cool that this is what optimization looks like in practice. Caves of qud

Ultimately, the stuff I just fixed was causing ANY damn liquidvolume even the little drips to cause cells to never cache their navigation weight, and I think just fixing this will make auto & turn performance 100x better in any kind of complex zone with any kind of dampness, which is a lot of qud.

if you design monitors please just give them a power button, im begging you. You can have the weird little joystick thing for menus too as long as you give me a clicky button that turns it on and off with a single press

There are a few exceptions, but generally dragons of antiquity and medieval illustrations are dog-sized and kind of silly.

I truly hate when little Right Wing Hitler youth open their mouths and give opinions in their over sized fake glasses, that they think will make them seem smart ,on things they know nothing about. But listen to a real farmer rip her apart.

Two unlikely game studios have joined forces to create Forbidden Solitaire.
